The Netherlands less than 2 hours from Var!
At Toulon Hyères airport, the summer connection to Rotterdam is open again until September 27.
Thus, the airport offers 2 flights per week to Rotterdam, every Tuesday and Saturday, operated by Transavia. This direct route to Rotterdam is an opportunity for a getaway to the Netherlands and allows the Dutch to benefit from direct access to the Côte d'Azur. With the resumption of this summer connection to Rotterdam, the airport confirms its commitment to offering attractive and accessible destinations in France and Europe.
TWO FLIGHTS PER WEEK For Basma Jarbouai, director of Toulon Hyères airport – VINCI Airports: "We are delighted to offer this international connection once again, giving travelers from Var direct access to the Netherlands, twice a week, every Tuesday at 4:20 p.m. and Saturday at 2:45 p.m. These scheduled flights between Toulon Hyères airport and Rotterdam offer a fast and direct connection, thereby facilitating the opening of Var to Europe."
